I am a big fan of the Seinfeld television show. To me, the show epitomizes middle class America comedy in a way no other sitcom has ever managed to do.
In one particular episode, for some reason that I can’t recall, Kramer decides he’s at the time in his life to go without underwear. In a particularly funny scene with Jerry and Elaine, Kramer announces to the world that “I’m out there Jerry and I’m loving every minute of it!”. Free at last, free at last.
I am currently cross browser testing and trouble shooting a new website project that I am working on. It’s coming along nicely and will prove to be a nice website for my client. However…
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate designing websites so that they still function in Internet Explorer 6.0. If I haven’t mentioned it lately, consider this to be a definitive declaration on the subject.
I hate Internet Explorer 6.0!
If there is anyone out there who doesn’t hate it, please leave me a comment and support the reasons you don’t.
As most of you know, I strive to develop websites that conform to currently accepted web design standards. I write my code to be valid both via the CSS file and the XHTML markup.
Although it takes a bit more time to design a website to conform to these standards, it always seemed like the right way to design a website. It also feels good when your product is pronounced to be Valid by the various validation tools.
I stumbled upon a website today that appears to me to be the least valid website I have ever seen. Bar none. As of today, there are 2017 validation errors when the XHTML is checked. Wow. That’s a lot of errors.
Can you find a website with more errors than this one has? That’s the challenge for today!

P.S.
Just to balance things out, the University of California Spanish & Portugese Department is one of the most valid websites I have ever seen. The good folks over at Accessites.org highlighted the UC Spanish & Department website over a year ago.
How’s that for contrast?
